Wholesale Mentor Question

[Brad T.]

Hello,

New to the world of Wholesaling. Have no deals under my belt yet.. still in the learning stage. I feel like I have a pretty solid understanding of the process, and I'm ready to get started but.. I also feel like I should connect with someone experienced in this field before wrapping someone up in a contract. I have no interest in putting a seller at risk because I decided to rush into a deal I wasn't adequately prepared for. I'm sure I'm overthinking a lot of this, but I want to ensure I have everything in order. So I guess my question is... how do I find a mentor to answer my questions or help guide me through my first deal? Is this even a normal thing?

I'm in the Philadelphia area, and I've owned a few small companies over the years so I'm no stranger to negotiating deals. I currently own a software & AI development company, and I've been using those resources to create applications to help find/manage RE deals on the side. Of course, I'd never ask for someone's time for free.. I'd be willing to provide value in any way I can. I'm just not sure where to go from here. 

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
